Meet Rick Wattras, Principal Integration Architect at Rhapsody.  

🧑‍💻 Tell us a bit about your background.  
I graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering and started my career at Epic as a systems engineer. During my time there, I gained experience in healthcare technology, server management, application virtualization, and cloud deployment. After a few years, a former Epic colleague recruited me to join a startup focused on selling a healthcare PaaS product. Together, we developed a separate managed integrations offering. That company eventually became Datica, which later merged with Rhapsody. Be
💡 What do you enjoy about working at Rhapsody?
Rhapsody has a lot of very smart people doing great work. Everyone is motivated to deliver quality solutions and to work with our customers to build solid relationships and solve problems. I love how spread out our teams are across different parts of the country and world; I think our culture is better for that and the collaboration that comes from it. Even though we’re not the largest company out there, we punch above our weight class with the quality of our team members and the work they are doing.
🚀 What are you most excited about for the future of Rhapsody?
Having been here for a few years, I’ve seen Rhapsody evolve as we continue to enhance our offerings and focus on high-value areas. I’m excited to see how we embrace more emerging technologies such as AI to improve and automate processes that will allow us to scale and meet the increasing demand I anticipate in the future.
🎸 What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?  
I play a lot of sports, including soccer, ice hockey, and volleyball. I also love hiking and traveling. I’m a musician that has been playing music (primarily guitar, but also drums) for a long time, both in bands and as a solo artist.
We’re lucky to have Rick’s dedication and innovative mindset on our team!
